Most Edina chimney calls trace back to the season itself: heavy wood burning laying down glazed creosote, lake-effect moisture keeping masonry damp, and thermal cycling cracking clay flue tiles from the inside. We show you what we found on camera and fix the real cause, not just the symptom.

A chimney in Edina works from the first cold night to the last thaw, then sits damp through a humid summer. Deep freeze-thaw, lake moisture and heavy wood heat do the damage here. This is what we actually find, and what we check on every visit.
Water soaks into a Edina chimney crown, mortar joint or brick face, then freezes, expands, and pries the opening wider. Repeat that cycle all winter and brick faces spall, crowns split, and mortar crumbles to sand. We check the crown, joints and brick on every inspection and catch it early.
A heavy snowfall or ice storm in Edina can bury a chimney cap, load the crown with weight, and leave meltwater soaking into masonry for days. A buried or damaged cap restricts the vent and lets water down the flue. After a big storm is the right time to check the top.
Lake moisture, summer humidity and meltwater rust the metal a chimney depends on: dampers seize or warp, caps rust through, and flashing loosens as mortar around it fails. A rusted-through cap is an open hole over the flue. We inspect the metal parts most sweeps skip, on every visit.
Much of the housing stock in Edina pairs older masonry chimneys with homes that have been tightened, insulated and remodeled over the years. That mismatch causes downdrafts and smoke problems, while the aging mortar and tile need checking on their own. Our techs read both problems together and correct the cause.

At least once a year if you burn regularly, and sooner if wood is real heat in your home - roughly every cord burned is a good guide. A long Midwest heating season lays down serious creosote, and the glazed kind is a flue-fire risk. The sweep also checks the liner, cap and damper.
It is serious, because open joints are how water gets in and heat gets out. Spalled brick and recessed mortar let freeze-thaw work deeper every winter, and gaps near the flue let hot gases reach the masonry and framing. Small joint repairs are straightforward when caught early, before the damage reaches the liner.
Real enough that sweeping is scheduled around it. Creosote builds on the flue walls with every fire, and a hot fire can ignite the glazed layer, turning the flue itself into a fire that cracks tiles and damages masonry. Annual sweeping, dry wood, and hot rather than smoldering fires all lower the risk a great deal.
Be careful, and leave the fireplace off until the top is checked if the cap is buried or the fire burns oddly after a big snow. A blocked cap means the flue cannot vent properly, and exhaust can spill into the room. Once the cap and vent are cleared and checked, the fireplace can go back into service.
Do not light a fire. Raccoons, birds and squirrels nest in open flues across Minnesota in spring and summer, and a nest blocks the draft and holds moisture against the liner. Lighting under a blockage pushes smoke and carbon monoxide into the room. We remove the blockage, check for damage, and fit a screened cap.
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every chimney fails differently, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our estimates are free: a tech looks at the actual problem, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.
